I am trying to override the constructor for this object, but keep getting
this error:
C++ Error] DBComboBox1.h(85): E2113 Virtual function '_fastcall
TFieldProperty::TFieldProperty(const _di_IFormDesigner,int)' conflicts with
base class 'TPropertyEditor'
Here's the code:
//descendant declaration:
...
protected:
__fastcall virtual TFieldProperty(const _di_IFormDesigner ADesigner, int
APropCount);
...
//base declaration:
...
protected:
__fastcall virtual TPropertyEditor(const _di_IFormDesigner ADesigner,
int APropCount);
...
not real sure why these would be conflicting, as the documentation says that
this error occurs when the return type differs (obviously not, as they are
constructors) or calling convention differs (don't think so, either).

Don't constructors return the instance they've constructed?

explicitally return anything. They are a special case method that the
compiler handles differently than normal methods.

match the signature of the base class constructor, so you are not actually
overriding it correctly.

The question here is not about explicitly returning anythng, but about the
reasons for the compiler to return the error. So your comment doesn't seem
to be applicable.
